The Toronto Raptors are in the midst of their poorest stretch of the season. On Monday night, the Raptors dropped their sixth straight game with a 104-101 overtime loss at Philadelphia. The Raptors trailed by 11 points at halftime before outscoring the Sixers by 11 in the third quarter. The two teams each scored 21 points in the third quarter before the Raptors were held to just two points in overtime to take the loss. Pascal Siakam led the way for the Raptors with 38 points, the most points allowed by Philadelphia all season. He also delivered 15 rebounds and six assists and was able to force overtime with a layup with just five seconds left. The Raptors shot just 42% from the field and just 28% from 3pt range.

In their six-game losing streak, the Raptors are scoring under 110 points per game and shooting under 45% from the floor. All season, the Raptors have struggled from long range as they are 29th in the NBA in 3pt field goal percentage. The Raptors are typically one of the best assist-to-turnover teams in the NBA, ranking fifth in the league. However, they have turned the ball over 27 times combined in their last two losses.
Key Injuries: SG Gary Trent Jr. is questionable for Wednesday's game.
